1983 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60

289,415 miles

Blue exterior, gray interior

This truck comes with 30 years of incredibly detailed service records. The binder includes the original window sticker, details about every gasoline fill-up since 1991, every hose, filter, and spark plug change, as well as larger items like radiator, brakes, and 2F engine replacement (by Jasper Engines, Oct 2005 at 246,786 miles).

Built in Japan (Dec 1982) and raised in Colorado, it has been garage-kept for its entire life. The original owner (Aurora, CO) sold the vehicle with 30,000 miles in May 1985 to the previous owner (Boulder, CO), who used it as a daily driver. Between 1985 and 2011, it was a family-used vehicle; it has not been used for rock climbing or off-roading. My fiance, the third owner, bought it in August 2011. In October 2011, it passed vehicle inspection in Massachusetts. During the last two years, she has used it has her daily driver, as well as road tripping from Minnesota to the east coast and back a couple of times. This truck was built tough and still runs strong.

Non-smoking owners.

Minimal surface rust: removal and repair of all body rust, as well as a professional paint job was completed in 2005

A/C blows cold.

No cracks in the dash. All switches and dash vents work perfectly.

Clean headliner (although one small area above the right rear window has come untucked, see pic).

Liftgate stays up on its own.

Tires have good tread and are not weathered.

Sale includes all service records. Most recent work completed:

Valve adjustment: 284.024 miles

New tachometer: 283,660 miles

Tie rod and relay rod ends: 286,305 miles

Firestone Alignment: 286,313 miles

Distributor cap, seal, and ignition rotor: 289,252 miles

The original radio was replaced with a Sony CD player in 2004, but I have the original radio in a box. The speaker on the passenger side door wasn't connected when my fiance bought it, so the only working speaker is on the driver side door.

ACCIDENT: In October 2012, the truck was parked in a parking lot when someone struck the driver side doors and fender, pushing the truck into the car next to it, thereby denting the right front fender as well. It has not been driven much since the accident, but we have taken it on short drives every couple of weeks to keep it running smoothly. It doesn't look as good as it used to, but the truck is still driveable. The left side doors do close (with some effort); they do not leak during rain storms. There was no damage to any of the glass. The repair (or replacement) of the body panels and left-side door column could return this truck to its former glory.

Before bidding on it, we welcome you to come inspect the truck in person.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.

400-hp Toyota Hybrid-R Concept gets second teaser

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

Toyota has released a second teaser of its Hybrid-R Concept, along with an estimation of the show car's power output. Using technology that's "similar to that used by Toyota Racing's TS030 Hybrid race car," the concept is expected to deliver over 400 horsepower.
The press release also mentions that the new concept is based on a current production model. While it's difficult to tell from the sole teaser image of the car's body, rumors are flying that it's related to the Yaris. If that's the case, though, it's difficult to know what to make of this concept. The teaser image is quite dark, but we played around with the exposure and came up with an image that reveals more details about the new concept. Take a look at the related gallery, below, to see the high-exposure image. We'll find out for certain what the Hybrid-R is in a few weeks at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Let us know what you think Toyota's newest concept is in the comments.

Supra successor may be all-electric sourced from Tesla; MR2 returning too?

Wed, 14 Nov 2012

Rumors of a revival of the Toyota Supra and MR2 have been swirling for years right up until just this week when high-level Toyota employees all but confirmed their return.
But now The Detroit Bureau has put together news from different sources suggesting that the next Supra might be all electric. The report cites recent comments from Toyota senior executives hinting at plans to work with Tesla on a new joint project. The FT-HS Concept (shown above) seems a logical inspiration for a new Supra.
And on the other side of the equation is Tesla's design chief Franz von Holzhausen who was quoted last year saying his company was looking at its next project, probably a sports car, that would follow next year's intro of the Model X. He went on to suggest the car would compete directly with BMW's 3 Series, which, in coupe form, could be a worthy competitor to a Supra as well.

Eiji Toyoda dead at 100

Tue, 17 Sep 2013

Toyota has had number of chiefs over its 76-year history, but none ever served as long as Eiji Toyoda. The younger cousin of the company's founder served as president of the automaker from 1967 to 1982 and as chairman of the Toyota Motor Corporation for another ten years following the unification of the manufacturing and sales divisions.
During his 25 years at the helm, Eiji Toyoda (pictured above in 1967) was credited with establishing the company's headquarters in Toyota City, spearheading the development of the Prius, expanding production overseas for the first time, launching the Lexus brand and turning Toyota from a minor player into one of the largest automakers in the world.
Even after his retirement in 1992, he remained an honorary chairman and close advisor to his successors, and chaired the company's museum. He died of heart failure, ending a 100-year life that started on September 12, 1913, before the company that bore his family's name (albeit slightly modified) had even started building automatic looms, let alone automobiles. We extend our condolences to the Toyoda family and our congratulations on an accomplished life.
